Hello family in Christ. Today we are heading back to the mall. We found the mall entrance to be the busiest spot and brother Dayton said he will be back there preaching.
We were positioned around the entrance and Dayton was singing and dancing along to gospel music, playing on a small speaker. Many people were walking past and hearing the Word of God.
Psalm 30:11-12 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,
To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
We handed out many free 2026 calendars and tracts. The calendars are from Maori Postal Aotearoa, which have lovely scenic pictures of God’s creation and a bible scripture for each month, written in Te Red Maori and English. They are very popular and give us an opportunity to share Jesus.
The brightness of Jesus, flows from the inside of brother Daytz, to the outside, as you can clearly see.
Isaiah 60:19. The sun shall no longer be your light by day,
Nor for brightness shall the moon give light to you;
But the Lord will be to you an everlasting light,
And your God your glory.
From left, brother Pio, Rameka and David Malcom.
Rameka said, he has been curious about Jesus for sometime. We talked with him about what Jesus accomplished at the cross for us and him, sharing the good news.
1 Corinthians 9:16 For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel!
I absolutely love this verse because if we are sharing Jesus, we are not boasting in ourselves! We boast in our King of kings, Jesus!
Well he was more than ready to accept Jesus into his heart, as he repented of all his sins and forgave all those who had hurt him. He called out to Jesus to come into his life and make him born again.
John 3:8. The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.
This is always a very joyous occasion, as we sensed an open Heaven above us. The joy and celebration, shining down onto Rameka from above.
Luke 15:7. I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.
Bother David called in for a while, as he too was out evangelising, travelling a daily circuit, through the city and along the expansive board walk, following the coast. His home is close by, so he travels on an electric skateboard. A great talking point to start a conversation.
David and Paul evangelise together a lot, ministering and helping local homeless people. Through brother Paul, the Lord is gifting a caravan to a homeless man who they have been ministering with, praise God.
Mathew 25:37-40. Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.
We Thank You Father God, for Your out pouring of mercy and love to all the people that You placed before us. Thank You for the seventy seven precious souls, You drew into Yourself. We praise You Jesus.
We trust in You Jesus, that You will water them, with Your living water. To lead and guide them on Your predestined path of righteousness and eternal life, in You Jesus, Amen.
Revelation 22:1. And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb.
God bless you all, We hope, this blog, led by the Holy Spirit, has encouraged and edified you, in your walk with Jesus.
Thank you for joining us here, you are welcome to leave a comment if you like.
With love from your brother in Christ.
Paul

New Plymouth is the major city of the Taranaki region on the west coast of the North Island of New Zealand. It is named after the English city of Plymouth, in Devon, from where the first English settlers to New Plymouth migrated. The New Plymouth District, which includes New Plymouth City and several smaller towns, is the 10th largest district (out of 67) in New Zealand, and has a population of 90,100 – about two-thirds of the total population of the Taranaki region and 1.7% of New Zealand’s population. This includes New Plymouth City (60,200), Waitara (7,720), Inglewood (3,970), Ōakura (1,780), Ōkato (561) and Urenui (429).[2]
The city itself is a service centre for the region’s principal economic activities, including intensive pastoral activities (mainly dairy farming) as well as oil, natural gas and petrochemical exploration and production. It is also the region’s financial centre as the home of the TSB Bank (formerly the Taranaki Savings Bank), the largest of the remaining non-government New Zealand-owned banks.
Notable features are the botanic garden (i.e. Pukekura Park), the critically acclaimed Len Lye Centre and Art Gallery, the 13 km (8.1 mi) New Plymouth Coastal Walkway alongside the Tasman Sea, the Len Lye-designed 45-metre-tall (148 ft) artwork known as the Wind Wand, Paritutu Rock, and views of Mount Taranaki.
New Plymouth was awarded the most liveable city (for a population between 75,000–150,000) by the International Awards for Liveable Communities in 2021. In 2023, New Plymouth was awarded New Zealand’s most beautiful small city by Keep New Zealand Beautiful.[3] It also won multiple awards in 2008. The city was in 2010 chosen as one of two walking & cycling “Model Communities” by the government. Based on New Plymouth’s already positive attitude towards cyclists and pedestrians, the city received $3.71m to invest into infrastructure and community programmes to boost walking and cycling.[4]
